Van Halen - And the Cradle Will Rock... Lyrics

Ow
Oh yeah, get up
Ow (yeah)
Ow, ow
Well, they say it's kinda frightenin'
How this younger generation swings
You know it's more than just some new sensation
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep
And he don't come home for half the week
You know it's more than just an aggravation

And the cradle will rock
Yes, the cradle, cradle will rock
And I say, "rock on"
Ooh, rock on

And when some local kid gets down
They try and drum him outta town
They say, ya coulda at least faked it, boy
(Could've at least faked it, boy) fake it, boy
At an early age he hits the street
Winds up tied with who he meets
And he's unemployed (unemployed), ow

And the cradle will rock, ow
And the cradle, the cradle will rock
And I say, "rock on"
Oh, say, "rock on"

Have you seen junior's grades?

Ow

And when some local kid gets down
They try and drum him outta town
And they say, ya could've at least faked it, boy, faked it, boy
And so in early age, he hits the street
Winds up tied with who he meets
And he's unemployed, his folks are overjoyed

And the cradle will rock
Yes, the cradle, cradle will rock
I say, "rock on," say, "rock on"

Rock on, rock on, rock on (his ain't never been new, babe, child, ow)
Rock on (wow, I said)
Rock on, rock on
Rock on, on, on, on
Rock on, on, on, on
Rock on
Rock on
Rock on
